It's only wrong to those who can't partake.
Hmmm....maybe after my lunch time ride today, I'll bring my bike back up to the office (ahem, I mean cubicle) and work on my bike and drink the beers leftover from movie night a couple weeks back.

I have a hard time not drinking beer while working on my bikes. Working on a bike without a beer is like working on a bike without any hex wrenches. I think I gonna make that my sig.

Well if you consume too much and work on a fixed gear, this might happen:

Space in South Beach doesn't close until 10AM....so, damn.
On the flip, why do cokeheads start binging at 5:00 in the morning? I don't get that. And those bastards never work on bikes.

amendment 2
if traversing state lines in a manner that would take you before 8am, you remain on the timezone that you woke up in. so if you go from eastern day light time at 8:30am, into central time which would be 7:30am, you may still drink.

I think you drink too much as your response makes no sense.
it DOES go from east to west.
state lines have nothing to do with it, only time zones.

ahh, I did put state lines in there, I meant time zones, thank you for pointing that out, I could have had some lawsuits on my hands...
